Glenmorangie Nectar d'Or Sauternes Cask Finish

I was turned off at first by how bold it is for Glenmorangie (maybe due to the 46% abv), but upon revisiting it, the effervescent honey of the 10 feels concentrated and enhanced, so I found it better in tiny sips or with drops of water. It delivers. For the cost, I'm not sure if it is worth it over 10. Hopefully I can edit this later as I explore the bottle.

This is an interesting yet confusing one. Delicate, elegant, sweet and round in nose. In mouth much more grassy and green that expected from the nose. Dry and spicy, with the clear oak influence. Medium and spicy finish

Tasted with Arran Sauternes Finish whisky. Nose: very interesting sweet with some warming spice I cannot identify. Orange zest. Less sweet than Arran. Less sweet & more rich than the Glenmo 10yo. Palate: starts creamy and sweety. Moderate warming spices. Fresh. Finish: long, fresh, spicy. Lingering ginger pungency.

Had to downgrade from a total 96. The fruity honey on the finish is almost gone and replaced by something close to sulphur. Almost makes me forget the perfectly salty, woody palate and the wonderful nose. 23-23-21-22=89

At first impression, it reminds me of xr 21.Predominantly honey and vanilla, very slight hint of pear and a bit of salt. Tastes better the longer you drink it. Very complex flavor
